Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1957 volume:

B€ll«ClnlD«$ACiA 19 57 Do. you xcntenticn ov ck . . . Memories are wonderful things. The excitement of football and basketball games, the rushing to class before the bell rings, the thrill of getting your class ring, and finally the parting ways at Commencement—all are outstanding events of our high school life. The staff hopes that, while one day this book may become as obsolete as the pictures will become, Ki-Chi-Saga will never cease to aid you in all your reminiscing of these years at Chi-Hi.

Our high school was founded in 1916, and the first issue of the Breeze was published one year later. Until 1939, the paper was handset by the printing department, located in the present band room. It is published once every six weeks by a Staff chosen from grades 11 and 12. Several copies of the first issues are on file at school. THE ANNUAL STAFF — ROW 1—Mrs. Montgomery (advisor).

No more issues came out until 1947, and since then one has been issued every other year. This year the senior editor is Carol Nelson, and the junior editor is Marilyn Strand. This year for the first time the staff has increased the pages from 48 to 56 in order to get all the pictures and stories into print. Sponsored by Widmark Pharmacy. Lindstrom, and Dr. D. W.

Consisting of 31 girls, ranging from tenth grade to the twelfth grade, the Library Club is constantly busy in the library. The members sign out books and help the elementary grade children find books. Now they are re-arranging all books on the shelves and putting new covers on torn books. Working in the library helps the girl in her future job or chosen career. She learns to be busi- nesslike in her work but still be friendly to the people with whom she comes in contact. Mrs. Gall, besides supervising activities in the library, teaches high school English.

For the past several years the Council has sent delegates to the Minnesota Association of Student Councils Convention held each Fall. This year Marilyn Hedeen and Suzanne Lindblad represented our school at the convention in St. Paul. From these conventions we have learned valuable pointers in build- ing a better Council in our own school. As a result, we added an amendment to our constitution changing our system of acquiring new members. They are selected instead of elected on the basis of a written application. It is hoped this new plan will bring to the Council students who are truly interested in it. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA — BACK ROW—J. Dumke, R. Carlson, R. Tangren, J. Mattson, W.

Teams in basketball and baseball were organized 3 years ago. The Chapter has been selling Christmas cards since the organization was started; and the sales have been very effective, which shows that the members are not only good farmers, but good salesmen In the future years, it is the hope of the Chapter that an ag shop will be available to the bovs enrolled in agriculture. 1 ROW £ 2°?

In our blue and gray uniforms and newly added white bucks, our marching band made a good showing at several parades, receiving first prize in the American Legion Convention parade at Monticello, Minnesota. At the Aquatennial Concert Band Contest, we came home with the trophy for rating first place in our division. Nine of our members enjoyed the Bemidji Band Camp for a week in August. In October we took part in the half-time show at High School Band Day at the University of Minnesota. The band’s annual Fall Concert was held on November 2. On November 20, twenty-one of our band members participated in the All-Star Band Concert presented at Chi-Hi. At Homecoming the band staged a half-time show. The band has also added special interest to Pep Fests and home football and basketball games. The Spring Concert was presented on March 30. On April 5 we took part in the District Music Contest held at North Branch. Through the willing cooperation of its members and the patience and hard work of our choir di- rector, Mr. Lindvall, our choir has done a good job in promoting music in our school and com- munity.

Every Tuesday and Thursday they get together for practice. Sixteen select voices were chosen to participate in the All-Star Concert held in the Lindstrom-Center City auditorium on November 20. Students from Chisago City, North Branch, and Forest Lake also took part. Christmas is the time for music, and beautiful music indeed was produced by these songsters at the Christmas Candelight Concert on December 21. Also taking part in the concert were the grade-school choir and the junior-high choir. Christmas tradition was carried out in the caroling they did on Saturday night, December 22. People at the Bethesda Home in Chisago City and St. Croix Hospital enjoyed their Christmas-time music. The Spring Concert is another event in which our choir takes part. The community event that takes place every year is the choral arrangement of the Seven Last Words. Along with choir mem- bers of the churches in our community, they present it on the evening of Easter. Under the direction of Mr. Lindvall, this choir has done a fine job in promoting good music in and out of the halls of Chi-Hi.

The plot of the play revolved around the Hungarian custom that all older sisters must first be married before a younger one can take a husband. Mitzi and Horkoy found many exciting and in- teresting ways to help the older sisters find mates. Through the coaching of Mrs. Montgomery, the junior class play was a tremendous success. The cast follows: Mrs. Gurkoviks, a widow (Lois Eichten); Her seven daughters were Katinka (Joyce Rey- lek). Sari (Marilyn Strand), Ella (Carol Anne Nelson), Mitzi (Karen Koehn), Terka (Janet Abra- hamson), Liza (Karen Bruss), and Klara (Janet Davis). The male cast was: Colonel Radviany (Charles Peterson), Gida Radviany (Gary McClellan), Fcrcnz Horkoy (Rueben Tangren), Michael Sandorffy (Ellis Frans), Toni Teleki (John Melin), and Janko (Charles Johnson). SfieecA rftfriacfo Seventeen This year, seventeen hardy souls tried out in seven divisions. But at our local elimination con- test, held in the gym on March 7, this group was narrowed down to seven by the two judges. Miss Truax and Mr. Lindvall. These were: Judy Carol Johnson, George Mattson, Darlene Hultquist, Karen Koehn, Marilyn Strand, Gwen Westman and Janet Nelson. Our happy band was next taken by our coach, Mrs. Montgomery, to Forest Lake, where the sub-district contest was held. While still chewing our fingernails and trying to keep our knees from shaking, we were encouraged to find that three from our school were still in the race. Karen Koehn, Marilyn Strand, and George Mattson all survived the ordeal with superiors. The next stop for these three was Sandstone, where on Monday, March 18, the District meet was held. The three still held out, as each was rated superior. On a beautiful day. March 30, these three competed at Duluth in the region. Here George Mattson was rated as a region superior, and was chosen the state alternate.

Returning were 3 All-Conference men, and the hopes for the championship, which we shared the year before. After all the preliminaries, we got down in earnest to the fundamentals of football blocking and tackling. We shaped up a little slow, but we were impressive in our 46-13 victory over Osceola and our 42-7 conquest of Taylors Falls. Coaches Kessler and Randall assured us that from now on the games could not be won so easily. Next, we ran into a real tough foe. Rush City. This was a real grudge match and perhaps the roughest game we played. After a see saw game, we came out on the long end of a 21-7 score. We finally came to the game we had been waiting for all season, Forest Lake. We had drilled hard the previous week and felt we were ready. During most of the first half we were held deep in our own territory, but managed to be out in front 7-0 at intermission. We came out strong in the third quarter, but the Rangers pushed across a long pass late in the quarter to tie things up. Late in the fourth quarter found the Rangers on our 12-yard line with just 10 seconds to play. They pulled a weakside pass that clicked. We had lost the big one. Right then a victory over Chisago City, our last opponent, looked pretty dim. We didn’t have the kind of practice that week that would indicate a good game. We went on the field and scored a quick touchdown which was the first of many that night. When we came in at the half leading by a substantial score. Coach Kessler said, You guys showed me I was worng, you really did it. We went on to win by a score of 35-7, and this climaxed football for 17 seniors.

The season started off very well by the team's winning the first nine ball games before losing the first to North Branch for their Homecoming and starting off a little slump for the Bulldogs. L d by the Bulldog s co-captains, Lyle Nelson and Roger Carlson, both averaging about 20 points a ball game, the team came out of the regular season with a 14-3 record, losing to North Branch, Rush City, and Foley once each. The team played some rough teams outside the regular conference games, including St. Paul Murray, who later won the St. Paul championship and went into the Region 5 finals. This team was defeated both times by the margins of 11 and 18. We also played Foley who later won District 19 championship, but this game we lost by 10 points. Then the team came into the district tournament with high hopes and fierce determination to win. The first game was with a young Moose Lake team, which they took by the margin of 93-72. In the semi-finals, they encountered Chisago City whom they had beaten in tough games twice before. The Chi Hi team came back from an 11-point deficit to win with a final score of 36-54. The Rush City game was a hair-raiser for the championship, with Chi Hi coming back again in the final seconds to win by a score of 66-62. In the Region, the team lost both games, to Hibbing and to Duluth Central, by the scores of 58-66 and 73-87 respectively.

The excitement started when the seniors chose queen candidates. Susan Erickson, Carol Jean Nelson, and Norma Ostrom. The annual slogan contest was held, also; and the one chosen was Dissect the Dragons.” (Pine City). As usual, there were last-minute ideas and preparations. Evidence of this was the Christmas tree which added to the beautifully decorated gym. As the final touches were put on, the band started playing Our Director” and the audience fell silent. The majorettes, Louise McCreery and Nancy Andrews, formed the arch and little Loretta Holm and Tim Hallberg, the junior attendants, walked under. The queen candidates, donned in aqua dresses, followed. Since a new method of choosing the queen had been voted upon by the seniors, no one knew who the queen was even after she had come upon the stage. Lyle Nelson, co-captain of the basketball team, paced back and forth upon the stage until the audience was just about ready to burst. When he finally stopped in front of Norma to place the crown on her head, a sigh, quite loud, was made by all. I crown thee Homecoming Queen of 1956 and Queen Norma and her attendants were escorted to their royal throne for the game. As hoped for and rather expected, we beat Pine City 61-38. Later, all danced to the melodic music of Joe Brabec, starting out with the ___________________ Grand March and then gradually drifting away into dreamy waltzes, two-steps, and Dixieland jazz. It was indeed one of the climaxes of the senior year! The iiinior attendants—Loretta and Tim Hallberg.

To our teachers, the faculty of the Lindstrom-Center City High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, and income tax, our entire store of knowledge.

Center City, end Center City Feed Mill SfrU i 'Piaftfeccf In the year 1967 we are surprised to find that the senior class of '57 has contributed many of their talents to the prosperity of the country. As we walk toward the airport, we see one of the great talents , Steve Albrecht, whizzing along in his solid gold Cadillac. From behind we hear a screech—who could it be but Dave Patten in his 1967 black Pontiac convertible. He offers us a ride to the airport. When we arrive at the airport we stop to talk to Professor Richard Strand, on his way to England to confer with Einstein (little does he know!), and Louise who is on her way to Siberia, to complete her record of a man in every port.” Well, bless my stars and orbits! Here come Jim Mullen and Tyler Smith. They are taking a trip to Venus—the only incentive being that they are looking for beautiful girls? Good luck boys. As we go out on the runway, we view a shiny new supersonic plane being refueled by Wesley Nygren. When we near the plane, we notice Neil, the pilot, making last-minute checks before taking off. The stewardess, Darlene Tangren, shows us to our seats. After we sit down, we see the multi-millionaire, Janice Carlson, who has made her fortune by finding the cure for the dreaded disease, hibbie-gibbies. Now we hear John Akerson calling over the P.A. system to taxi to the runway. After taking off, we look out the window and see Wayne Lundeen’s 2,500 acre water- melon farm. On a Wisconsin road we see a wavy black line and find that it is Jim Dumke on his motorcycle. Turning on the T.V. we hear the strains of music from Juanita Mattson's bubble dance. All of a sudden—a news flash—Jerry Kaltenhauser has discovered a new planet 50,000 light years away. We turn the channel and watch the famous Globetrotters with their star player Roger Carlson. As we gaze once again out the window with our see-it-all telescopes we focus on the little town of Dead Oak. Among the prominent citizens we find Margie Hagert, hair dresser, George Mattson politician, Alan Eliason, baker, Norman Borg, sports editor, and Barbara and Yvonne Retherford, cafe owners. When we move across the town to the residential district, we find Merle hanging out the wash while Carol is sitting in the shade gazing at him with that everlasting look. Out in the country, near Janet Nelson's and Darlene Hultquist's little red school- house, is Diane and Carl's cozy little farm. We come upon a Michigan lumber camp where Mort Ford is cutting down trees. But honestly, we hardly recognized him with his long beard. Too bad it isn't Christmas— he could play Santa Clause, and Mrs. Clause could be his foreman, Marion Lindquist. As we fly over Lake Michigan, we spot a lighthouse and find that the lighthouse keeper is Nancy Andrews, who keeps trim by running up and down the lighthouse stairs. We are served lunch by Susan Erickson. To our surprise it is Fried Fritters fried by Farnell and Farnell of the Farnell Fried Fritter Company. Now at the coast, we see a crowd gathered to watch Lyle Nelson swim across the At- lantic to keep in condition for the 1970 Olympics. On our return trip we see a small ant. No! It's a beetle. No!
